Right on the lake
Nice very long XL tee pads
Nice risk/reward shots, especially the 2 holes enticing you to go over the lake to get to the basket in 1
Most of the course by the lake plays good after a rain with sandy soil
Lots of elevated greens framed with railroad ties
Good signage
Good next hole markers
Several tough to reach baskets

One set of tees
Static basket locations
Mammoth sized mosquitoes on new woods holes with lots of standing water back there
Several of the holes are right on the lake road and you need to watch out you do not hit traffic when you arc your shot over the street

This course was slightly redesigned within the last couple of years and I find I miss a few of the old holes on the lake side of the course although I did appreciate the new woods holes which are on the other side of the road as well. The new holes in the woods are short and mostly tight LHBH or RHFH shots which suited my leftyness for a couple of birdies. I did get attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes last time I was out there although their humongous size , twice the size of any mosquito I have ever seen....made them easier to swat...I am just glad I didn't let a single one get me but it did make me rush my play through here and not even consider using the benches by the tee pads. A couple of the other new holes are longer par 4s that play along roads and are more open, mostly enticing you to air it out over the road and bring it back in to get more distance. Nowhere near a scary as the lake but OB nonetheless. My favorite holes are still the original ones on the lake side that have the elevated greens and lake there that force you to choose your shot wisely and put some pressure on you not to go into the drink.

-- Excellent use of terrain, with both uphill and downhill shots.
-- Water in play, although less so than previously. No. 7 still has you basically throwing over the lake (I've lost a disc or two there), but No. 3 doesn't as much. You can take that RHFH left path over the edge of the water, but the more common path is the other way.
-- Fun factor is high as is the risk/reward factor. The intermediate player has a chance to make 2 on many holes, but 4 or worse comes into play if you make a bad shot.
-- Lots of shade.
-- Facilities (port-o-potty) on site.

-- Roads. I've seen shots reach the road on as many as eight holes.
-- The redesign brought some very nice holes (especially 9-11 in the woods), but it added some long walks between holes.
-- Navigation. After 7, you have to go up the hill and cross the road to No. 8. After 8, follow the path to the left into the woods on a longish walk to get to No. 9. After No. 11, come out of the woods and go right (and toward the road) to get to No. 12.
-- No drinking water.
-- People oblivious to disc golf. Runners, walkers and people just enjoying the lake are present, so be aware.

-- Still one of the best courses in DFW, especially after a rain.
-- Parking is along the main road that divides the course, so you're car could get hit by a disc. On the other hand, you come by your car during the round, a plus on hot summer days.
-- I've listed as many cons and pros on a 4-disc rating. That's because most of the cons are small problems that can mostly be addressed by planning ahead (drinking water and navigation) and decent play (staying out of the road).

- Baskets are in good shape.
- New layout includes new holes that add a more technical aspect to the course.
- Long tee pads in good shape.
- Course plays along Lake Lewisville which provides for some great scenery on the front nine.

- There's a few holes where if you aren't careful you could end up in jail.
- Since they had to rearrange the course a bit, there can be a bit of confusion finding a couple tee pads (most notably the transition from 15 to 16. It's better to take the trail behind 15's basket than walking to the left around the trees or you may find yourself walking through 18's fairway.

-most of the old course is still intact, 13 original holes remain
-the new holes are a contrast and a challenge
-the new routing through the course works well and still starts and finishes in the main area
-new trails in the woods are already worn in pretty well
-mostly shorter holes but many technical shots
-lots of blind baskets and challenging pin positions
-informative tee signs for the new layout
-GREAT concrete tee pads, longer than you will need
-baskets are in good condition
-sandy soil drains quickly after a rain, doesn't get real muddy
-trash cans, porta-johns, and benches
-friendly locals, weekly minis, great tournament events

-no alternate pins or tees
-most of the holes next to the road are still there, parked cars can be in the line of fire
-during the rain season, the fairway of hole 13 and the back road into the park can be completely flooded. if the lake level gets very high then most of the fairway on hole 3 can disappear


A new biking and walking trail has been built through the park and it goes directly through what used to be the fairways of holes 8, 9, 11, & 12. The new layout avoids the trail well but there are lots of pedestrians.

The course at Lake Lewisville Park was in limbo for over a year after the 2015 rain storms severely damaged the park. Railroad ties were washed away and many areas were eroded including the ground around tee pad 7. After being redesigned by the swell fellows at Dynamic Discs Carrollton, the course reopened in Fall 2016 and it is in great shape.

The first seven holes are the same as the old layout with a few small changes. The new trail goes right through what used to be the first tee pad so the new tee is on what used to be hole 8's green. It's a pretty fun tee shot and still very similar to the old shot, just with a smaller window and lower ceiling. The basket on hole 3 has been moved slightly back to the right, on top of that small ridge. Hole 5 has a new tee pad but I'm not sure why, it is directly next to the old one. I'm assuming they were trying to take away the high hyzer. Hole 7 has a new tee pad, a little further back and away from the eroding hillside but it's still the same tee shot. The green on 7 also no longer has railroad ties.

From there you go across the road and hole 8 is old hole 16. Then go into the woods on the trail on the left of old 16's fairway. Holes 9-11 play through the woods and all of them are tighter tunnel shots that finish right. Walk out of the woods and then to the right to get to hole 12, which plays along the road at the back entrance. It's over 500' slightly downhill and the main obstacles are a large oak tree and the OB road. Follow on to holes 13 & 14, old holes 17 & 18. Hole 15 is essentially old hole 15 played backward. The tee is closer to the tree line than the road (avoiding the previous green) and plays toward old hole 14. As you reach the old tee the fairway cuts into the woods on the right where there is a small green with a couple of skinny trees to get past. A trail through the woods leads to hole 16 (old hole 10, from old 14 tee) then hole 17 is old hole 13 and hole 18 is old hole 14 (from old 10 tee).

The old layout was a classic, the best course on the north side of the metroplex along with Towne Lake. This new layout preserves as much as possible while adding a new dimension to the course. Three very wooded holes, a very long hole, and 15 backward replace 8 (the easiest old hole), 9 (the longest old hole), 11 (another of the longest old holes), and 12. I'd say it's a fair trade plus the routing works well. A very well done redesign; huge thanks to DD Carrollton.
